TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH FASHION

Get Involved: Fuel Creativity and Sustainability

At Columbus Fashion Academy, your contributions are more than just donations—they’re the building blocks of our mission to transform fashion into a force for good. As part of our holistic social enterprise ecosystem, which includes educational programs, community events, and an online retail store, your support drives our vision forward.

Donate Pre-Loved Items:Our students are passionate about reimagining fashion through upcycling and sustainable practices. By donating pre-owned garments, accessories, and materials, you provide the raw materials for their creative exploration. These items become part of our "Creativity Warehouse," where young designers learn to overcome challenges, work with limited resources, and bring their visions to life. Your donation directly fuels this creativity and innovation.

Support Our Retail Operations:Columbus Fashion Academy is more than a school—it's a key player in a broader ecosystem that includes TalkingFashion Inc., our online retail store dedicated to reselling pre-loved items. Every donation we receive is either repurposed by our students or resold through our store, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. This approach not only empowers our students but also contributes to reducing fashion’s environmental footprint by keeping items out of landfills.

Contribute Special Fashion Finds:Occasionally, we receive extraordinary high-end fashion pieces that are rich in history and too special to be repurposed. These treasures are sold online, with proceeds directly supporting our educational programs and community initiatives. By contributing these unique items, you help fund the future of sustainable fashion and education.

Join Us in Making a Difference:Your involvement is crucial to our mission of fostering creativity, sustainability, and community empowerment through fashion. Whether you donate items, shop our pre-loved collection, or support our educational programs, you are making a tangible impact on both people and the planet.

Thank you for being a part of our journey to transform waste into wonder and to uplift our community through fashion. Together, we can make fashion a force for good.
